Well kids, here's another on my list of the top 10 greatest albums of all time. I can't even begin to describe how brilliant the music and lyrics of Amanda Palmer are...She's an overlooked genus. No matter how many times you play this it doesn't get old and the "shocking" parts never stop "shocking". This is a must own for anybody who appreciates quality thought provoking music and lyrics. 5 HUGE Stars.
This album is simply brilliant. Amanda Palmer's lyrics are emotional and sometimes hilarious, and blend wonderfully with her piano playing and Brian's drumming. "Coin-Operated Boy" is the most unique and catchy song I have ever heard - a combination of circus sounds and cabaret - and the rest of the album follows suit! "The Jeep Song" is painfully poignant, "Missed Me" is twisted but brilliant, and "Girl Anachronism" is filled with passion and a sound only The Dresden Dolls could achieve! WONDERFUL ALBUM!!!! There's nothing traditional or typical about it. It stands on its own from the current pop culture - and that is truly a nice escape.
Love this album, Amanda Palmer was completely underrated, her vocals are amazing.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I bought the cd not really knowing what to expect but I'm glad I bought it because they are now one of my most favorite bands. Not just for thier music but for the way they present themselves and for their creativity.
I stumbled upon this band while online and quickly proceeded to order their CD when I could not get their haunting tunes out of my head. The entire CD is worth listening to, unusual to say about any band. They are a stunning combination of cabaret, punk, funk and new age.A pleasure to listen too and sing along with. Fantastic lyrics, great musical talent. An all around wonderful addition to my already very large and varied musical collection. I highly recommend this band if you are into Bjork, musicals, punk, Portis head, or are just looking for a new musical fix. I wish I'd discovered them earlier while they were still touring. I'm off to buy the rest of their albums!
